a Double French and Foreign Degree

The TIME Network/Integrated courses/"Diplôme tripartite" of ESIEE

The double degree system has been developed within the framework of partnerships between French and foreign higher engineering education institutions, mainly aiming at European mobility. Selected students must feel strongly motivated because of the important adaptation effort and usual additional length of the studies needed to get both degrees (from 6 months to one year).

The TIME Network

The most important of these programmes is the TIME network (Top Industrial Managers for Europe) developed by Ecole Centrale de Paris and extended to 23 European institutions ; it produced since 1989 about 100 double degreed European graduates.

Integrated curricula

The EPF Foundation introduced studies with double degrees in partnership with Fachhochschule of Muenchen and Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. Based on perfectly integrated curricula which are no longer than normal studies (1rst, 3rd and 5th year in France, 2nd and 4th year in Canada or in Germany); they enroll every year classes of around 30 students (15 from each country).

Also with double degrees, ENSAM intends to initiate a French-German Center in Metz (opening in September 1996) with Technical University of Karlsruhe : students from both countries will study together, alternating between France and Germany. In the same spirit, ENSAM opens a French-Iberian Center in Bordeaux in September 1995, with 5 engineering schools of Northern Spain and the Engineering College of Porto University.

"Diplôme tripartite" of ESIEE

Another original idea led to the Diplome Tripartite of ESIEE (so called because of the program tri-cultural profile ), created in agreement with the universities of Karlsruhe (Germany) and Southampton (U.K.) and ICAI of Madrid (Spain). Students spend their 4th and 5th years abroad, each year in another partner country, and get at the same time the ESIEE degree and the Diplome Tripartite. About 200 European students have followed this course.
